Excerpt from Plays, Vol. 2 The utmost Success I ever propos'd from this Play, was, that it might reach the Taste of a few good Judges, and from thence plead a sort of Title to your Lordship's Protection: And, if the most just, and candid Criticks are not the greatest Flatterers, I have not fail'd in my Proposal. As for those Gentlemen, that thrust themselves forward upon the Stage, before a crowded Audience, as if they resolv'd to play themselves, and save the Actor the Trouble of presenting them; they indeed, as they are above Instruction, so they scorn to be diverted by it, and will as soon allow me a good Voice, as a Genius.

Excerpt from Makers of Man: A Study of Human Initiative To C. and M. If in this book the Great World findeth aught Of high endeavour or enduring thought Worthy the lustre of their deathless fames Whose might and majesty its page acclaims; If haply of their faculty divine Stray gleams reflected here and there outshine, Chance phrases of their spheral melody On wings of reminiscence wander by, Or glimpses of that Magic be revealed Whose runes to ears and eyes profane are sealed; If, greatly daring, I, by chance or art, Have charmed some doors of Mystery apart, Have probed one secret of the soul of Man Unfathomed since its problem-play began, Lit up one corner in the House of Truth, Aroused from slumber one dream dowered youth, Awakened in one breast the great surmise Of Genius beckoning with syren eyes, - Then to our love the Great World's thanks are due, Since all that I have done - was done for you.
